INTRODUCTION
This course description directory has been developed to give parents/guardians and students
the opportunity to view our curricular offerings.
Because the course descriptions are brief, parents/guardians and students are encouraged to
seek additional information about specific subjects by consulting a counselor. The same is true
for the materials in this directory dealing with college entrance requirements and graduation
requirements.
Long-range planning is expected for all grade levels. As students enter high school, they and
their parents/guardian will be asked to identify and review educational objectives with a
counselor and plan a four-year program which will properly prepare students for those
objectives.
ANY CHANGES WILL REQUIRE PARENT/GUARDIAN AND SCHOOL APPROVAL.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
To satisfy this requirement, students must complete the high school courses listed below with a grade
point average defined by the scholarship requirement. This sequence of courses is known as the “A-G”
requirements.
Students must take 15 units of high school courses to fulfill the subject requirement, and at least seven of
the 15 units must be taken in the last two years of high school. (A unit is equal to an academic year, or
two semesters, of study.)
Beginning in 2012, all applicants will need to complete 11 of the 15 “A-G” courses by the end of their
junior year.
Subject Requirement
a. History/Social Science: 2 years required. Two years of history/social science, including one year of
world history, cultures and geography; and one year of U.S. history or one-half year of U.S. history and
one-half year of civics or American government.
b. English: 4 years required. Four years of college-preparatory English that include frequent and regular
writing, and reading of classic and modern literature. No more than one year of EL-type courses can
be used to meet this requirement.
c. Mathematics: 3 years required, 4 years recommended. Three years of college-preparatory
mathematics that include the topics covered in elementary and advanced algebra and two- and three-
dimensional geometry. Approved integrated math courses may be used to fulfill part or all of this
requirement, as may math courses taken in the seventh and eighth grades that your high school accepts
as equivalent to its own math courses.
d. Laboratory Science: 2 years required, 3 years recommended. Two years of laboratory science
providing fundamental knowledge in at least two of these three foundational subjects: biology,
chemistry and physics. Advanced laboratory science classes that have biology, chemistry or physics
as prerequisites and offer substantial additional material may be used to fulfill this requirement, as may
the final two years of an approved three-year integrated science program that provides rigorous
coverage of at least two of the three foundational subjects.
e. Languages Other than English: 2 years required, 3 years recommended. Two years of the same
language other than English. Courses should emphasize speaking and understanding, and include
instruction in grammar, vocabulary, reading, composition and culture. Courses in languages other than
English taken in the seventh and eighth grades may be used to fulfill part of this requirement if your
high school accepts them as equivalent to its own courses.
f. Visual/Performing Arts (VPA): 1 year required. A single yearlong approved arts course from a
single VPA discipline: dance, drama/theater, music or visual art.
g. College Preparatory Electives: 1 year required. One year (two semesters), in addition to those
required in “a-f” above, chosen from the following areas: visual and performing arts (non-introductory
level courses), history, social science, English, advanced mathematics, laboratory science and language

Scholarship Requirement
The Scholarship Requirement defines the grade point average (GPA) you must earn in the “A-G” subjects
and the test scores you must achieve to be eligible for admission to UC. The University uses an Eligibility
Index – a combination of GPA and test scores – to determine if you meet this requirement. The minimum
GPA is 3.0 for California residents, 3.4 for nonresidents.
The University calculates the GPA in the “A-G” subjects by assigning point values to the grades a student
earns, totaling the points, and dividing the total by the number of “A-G” course units. Points are assigned
as follows: A = 4 points, B = 3 points, C = 2 points, D = 1 point and F = 0 points. The University assigns
extra points for up to four units of certified honors level and advanced placement course taken in grade 10,
11, and 12: A = 5 points, B = 4 points, C= 3 points. A maximum of two of the four units may be taken in
grade 10. Grades of D are not assigned extra honor points. (Extra points will be awarded to 10th graders
only when they take honors or advanced placement courses normally taken by students in the 11th or 12th
grades.)
Only grades the student earns in the “A-G” subjects in the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades are used to calculate
the GPA to determine minimum eligibility for admission. Courses taken in the 9th grade can be used to
meet the subject requirement if the students earn a grade of C or better, but they will not be used to calculate
the GPA.
To see whether you meet the Scholarship Requirement, refer to the index and detailed information below.
UC ELIGIBILITY INDEX Below are the combinations of GPA and UC Score Totals that meet UC’s minimum requirements.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Examination Requirement
Students must submit the following test scores:
• Scholastic Assessment Tests (SAT 1) or American College Test (ACT). The verbal and mathematics scores
on the SAT must be from the same sitting. The ACT composite score must be submitted.
Beginning in 2012, the SAT 2 is no longer required, but suggested for strengthing your application.
• SAT 2 (Two College Board Achievement Tests), Choose from two areas: English literature, foreign language,
science, social studies, or math level 2.
Students applying for admission to the Fall term should take these tests no later than December of their Senior year
and preferably in November to ensure that their application receives prompt and full consideration.
Eligibility by Examination Alone
A third path to UC admission is through examination alone. To qualify this way, a student must satisfy the same
examination requirement as students who are eligible in the Statewide Context. Students must achieve a minimum
UC Score Total of 410 as calculated according to the instructions on
www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/paying-for-uc/scholarships. In addition, students must achieve a
minimum UC Score of 63, according to the Translation Table on the calculation website on each component of
the ACT or SAT Reasoning Test and on each SAT Subject Test.
Students may not use an SAT Subject Test to meet these requirements if they have taken a transferable college
course in that subject.
An applicant who is currently attending high school may qualify for admission to the University by examination
alone without completing his or her high school program.
Calculating the UC Score Total for students who took the SAT Reasoning Test:
Convert the student’s highest scores in critical reading, math and writing from a single sitting and the two highest
SAT Subject Test scores from two different subject areas to equivalent UC Scores. Then add the five UC Scores
to produce the UC Score Total.
Example: Critical reading + math + writing + Subject Test 1+ Subject Test 2= UC Score Total.
Calculating the UC Score Total for student who took the ACT plus Writing Exam:
Convert the student’s highest math, reading, science, and combined English/writing scores from a single sitting to
UC Scores. Multiply the sum of the converted math, reading and science score by two-thirds, and then add the
converted English/writing score. Add this subtotal to the two highest SAT Subject Test scores from two different
subject areas, which are also converted to equivalent UC Scores. Example: (math + reading + science) x 0.667 + English/writing + Subject Test 1 + Subject Test 2 = UC Score Total.

(lists 1 & 2). The remaining 3 points may be earned from any other subject (lists 1, 2 or 3)
excluding P.E., or repeated subjects. “Honor graduate” status requires membership in C.S.F.
for 4 or more semesters during grades 10-12. (One semester must be in the senior year.)
2. C.S.F. points are calculated as follows:
a. A=3 points, B=1 point. An ‘A’ or ‘B’ in honors or advanced placement classes earns an
extra point. (Maximum of 2 extra points per semester.)
b. Only 5 classes are counted each semester.
3. A grade of ‘D’ or ‘F’ in any subject, including P.E., or a ‘N’ or ‘U” in citizenship, shall bar a

NCAA Approved Courses (48H)
What is the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Center?
The NCAA Initial-Eligibility Center (the clearinghouse) is an organization that works with the NCAA to determine a student’s eligibility for athletics participation in his or her first year of college enrollment. Students who want to participate in college sports during their first year of enrollment in college must register with the clearinghouse.
Located in Indianapolis, IN, the clearinghouse staff follows NCAA bylaws and regulations in analyzing and processing a student’s high school academic records, ACT or SAT scores, and key information about amateurism participation to determine the student’s initial eligibility.
Division 1 If you enroll in Division 1 college and want to participate in athletics or receive an athletics scholarship during your first year, you must:
• Graduate from high school
• Complete these 16 core courses: - 4 years of English - 3 years of math (algebra 1 or higher) - 2 years of natural or physical science (including one year of lab science if offered by your high school) - 1 extra year of English, math or natural or physical science - 2 years of social science - 4 years of extra core courses (from any category above, or foreign language, non-doctrinal religion or
philosophy); - Earn a minimum required grade-point average in your core courses; and - Earn a combined SAT or ACT sum score that matches your core-course grade-point average and test score
sliding scale (for example, a 2.400 core-course grade-point average needs a SAT score of 860).
There are three possible initial-eligibility outcomes: • Full Qualifier: May receive athletics aid (scholarship), practice and compete in the first year of enrollment at the Division I college or university. • Academic Redshirt: May receive athletics aid (scholarship) in the first year of enrollment and may practice in the first regular academic term (semester or quarter) but may not compete in the first year of enrollment. The student-athlete must successfully complete nine semester hours or eight quarter hours in the initial term at his/her college or university to continue to practice in the next term. • Nonqualifier: Cannot receive athletics aid (scholarship), practice or compete in the first year of enrollment. Full Qualifier must: • Graduate from high school. • Complete 16 core course requirement • Ten of the 16 core courses must be completed before the start of the seventh semester (senior year) of high school. • Seven of the 10 core courses must be English, math or natural or physical science. • Have a minimum core-course grade-point average of 2.300 • Grades earned in the 10 courses required before the seventh semester are “locked in” for purposes of grade-point
average calculation. • A repeat of any of the “locked in” courses will not be used to improve the grade-point average if the repeat occurs after
the seventh semester begins. • Meet the sliding scale of grade-point average and ACT/SAT score; and

CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY FRESHMAN ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
(CONTINUED)
Eligibility Index
The Eligibility Index is a combination of your high school grade point average and your test score on either the
American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Assessment Tests (SAT). Your grade point average is based on
grades earned during the final three years of high school (excluding physical education and military science) and
bonus points for each C or better grade in approved honors courses. Up to eight semesters on honors courses
taken in the last two years of high school can by accepted. Each grade of A in an honors course will receive a
total of 5 points; B, 4 points, and C, 3 points.
The table below shows the combination of test scores and averages required. You can calculate the index by
multiplying your grade point average by 800 and adding your total score on the SAT. Or, if you took the ACT,
multiply your grade point average by 200 and add ten times the ACT composite score. You need a minimum
index of 2900 using the SAT or 694 using the ACT. If you apply for admission before you graduate from high
school, you should compute your GPA using grades earned in courses completed after the 9th grade. Do not
include grades that you expect to earn in courses during the remainder of 12th grade.
If your grade point average is 3.00 or above, you are not required to submit test scores. However, you are urged
to take the SAT or ACT since campuses use test results for advising and placement purposes.

7028 Integrated Math 1 – 9th Grade 1 year 9
7030 Integrated Math 1 1 year 10, 11, 12
The fundamental purpose of Integrated Mathematics 1 is to formalize and extend the mathematics that students
learned in the middle grades. The critical areas, organized into units, deepen and extend understanding of linear
relationships, in part by contrasting them with exponential phenomena, and in part by applying linear models to data
that exhibit a linear trend. Mathematics 1 uses properties and theorems involving congruent figures to deepen and
extend understanding of geometric knowledge from prior grades. The final unit in the course ties together the
algebraic and geometric ideas studied. The Mathematical Practice Standards apply throughout each course and,
together with the content standards, prescribe that students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical
subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations.

7050 Integrated Math 2 1 year 9, 10, 11, 12 PREREQUISITE: Integrated Math 1 with a “D” grade or better.
Students will learn function notation and develop the concepts of domain and range. They explore many examples of
functions, including sequences; they interpret functions given graphically, numerically, symbolically, and verbally,
translate between representations, and understand the limitations of various representations. They work with functions
given by graphs and tables, keeping in mind that, depending upon the context, these representations are likely to be
approximate and incomplete. Their work includes functions that can be described or approximated by formulas as
well as those that cannot. When functions describe relationships between quantities arising from a context, students
reason with the units in which those quantities are measured. Students build on and informally extend their
understanding of integer exponents to consider exponential functions. They compare and contrast linear and
exponential functions, distinguishing between additive and multiplicative change. They interpret arithmetic sequences
as linear functions and geometric sequences as exponential functions.

7054 Integrated Math 2 Sheltered (see ELL section) 1 year 9, 10, 11, 12
7057 Integrated Math 1 - ICT 1 year 9, 10, 11, 12
The course, Integrated Mathematics 1 (IM1) and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) guides students
through the clusters of standards of Common Core State Standards for Mathematics of Integrated Mathematics I while
simultaneously teaching students about programming skills. Students use programming in C/C++ interpreter Ch to
reinforce and extend their knowledge of mathematical concepts by analyzing real life situations, identifying given
information, formulating steps that a computer program could calculate to find a solution, and analyzing the results
for accuracy, going back, and modifying the programming solutions. Students will collaborate and communicate their
reasoning by providing evidence from reenacting physically derived mathematical problems through robotics
technologies to visualize situation, associate linear and quadratic graphs with physical phenomena, predict and identify
key features of the graphs with the specific physical situations, and solve physical problems through the concepts and
clusters of standards of Integrated Mathematics I.
